Publisher's Summary

Dr Shefali teaches us how to control our expectations, embrace the present moment and let go of the anxiety surrounding how best to parent our children. Become the awakened parent you've always wanted to be and watch your children thrive.

All parents have aspirations for their children, but for some these hopes turn into unrealistic expectations. In many cases, this puts huge amounts of pressure on children and has the potential to cause real harm, hindering your child's development. Challenging modern myths on how kids should be, Dr Shefali helps parents recognise children for who they truly are instead of holding on to society's impossible ideals.

Drawing on Eastern philosophy as well as Western psychology, Dr Shefali offers enlightened, practical advice and explains her radically transformative plan which guarantees that you have confident children and a calm and emotionally connected family.

Fantastic approach

I enjoyed every minute of this book. I learnt many tips and have experienced greater connection with my kids with the small, conscious changes in my parenting.
Note- I listen to it at 1.5x speed

Parenting life game changer

This was a salve for my mind, my soul and my heart at a time when I was trying to reconcile how I wanted to parent and how I was parenting which I had realised was from a known place of fear of scarcity and strict upbringing but had no idea how to change me.

Way to be awakes but eyes opening

The book is incredible, I applied some of the techniques but I need to practice!
Sometimes I feel I go back to my default behavior and I think I need to review this book at least every year!
Nowadays, many books about parenting are saying the same concepts and it’s a matter of who’s words is settle in your heart. For me, this book was amazing! I prefer someone else to read it like a professional narrator! But it’s just my opinion.
Thank you dr Shefali Tsabari

The best parenting bookI have ever read

So many aha moments. Dr Shefali illustrates how when we become conscious and aware of how and why we are reacting that there is little need for parenting techniques, tips and tricks. It’s such a relief to realize this. Thanks you Dr Shefali for your wisdom and can’t wait to read his book again and would recommend it to everyone!

Best parenting book!

This is the best parenting book I’ve ever read (and I’ve read plenty)! I hung off every word! I loved all of Dr Tsabary’s advice, including her examples involving real life cases of clients’, as well as her own, experiences. Every parent should read, or listen to, this book. I will - again and again!

Life changer

Thi book has deepened my understanding and thinking about the way in which I parent and build relationships with my children. My children are still young and I am thankful I have read this now as there is advice and examples which I am sure that I will carry with me long into their teens and beyond, however I think it would be a real help for families with older children especially if they are “stuck” or in challenging times.
I was hesitant about listening to a non-fiction book on audio but it was really clearly presented and easy to follow. (I have actually just ordered the hard copy because there are so many things that I know I will want to be able to revisit over time.)
Thank you Dr Tsabary.
